Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,46,68,62 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,46,68,62 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,48,35,16
2 | 12, 48, 35, 16 |
2 | 6, 24, 35, 8 |
2 | 3, 12, 35, 4 |
2 | 3, 6, 35, 2 |
3 | 3, 3, 35, 1 |
1, 1, 35, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 35 x 1 = 1680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/12,46/48,68/35,62/16 is 2/1680
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 12,48,35,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,48,35,16) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 192
GCF(12,48,35,16) x common factors =1 x 192 = 192
LCM(12,48,35,16) = ( 12 × 48 × 35 × 16 ) / 192
LCM(12,48,35,16) = 322560 / 192
LCM(12,48,35,16) = 1680
